Doped Optical Fiber, Erbium, For High Efficiency Single C-band EDFAs

Erbium doped fiber for high efficiency core pumped, single or few channel C-band EDFAs. (Mfg. P/N: M-5(980/125))

F-EDF Erbium Doped Fiber provides the basic building block to fiber optic amplifiers used in broadband optical networks and CATV applications in the 1550nm fiber optic transmission window. These erbium doped fibers deliver gain efficiencies in excess of 3.5 dB/mW when pumped with a 980nm laser diode.

This bare fiber does not include a protective fiber jacket. Standard pricing is per meter. The following volume discount schedule is applied when ordering continuous lengths of optical fiber: 10 - 49 m: 15%, 50 - 99 m: 22%, 100 - 499 m: 25%, and ≥ 500 m: 28%.

Low Absorption Fiber Available

Fibercore’s low absorption fibers offer best-in-class efficiency for C-band amplifiers whilst higher absorption fibers are optimized for L-band EDFAs. High cut-off wavelength (HC) fibers have larger core diameters, reducing non-linear effects and increasing efficiency at higher pump powers.

Fibercore’s MetroGain™

Fibercore’s MetroGain range is designed for high efficiency ‘Metro-style’ Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) configurations, single stage amplifiers, Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) light sources and single channel or few channel EDFAs. All model numbers with "F-M" in them are among the MetroGain family as well as F-EDF and F-EDF-5.

F-EDF Series

F-EDF erbium doped fibers provide the basic building block to fiber optic amplifiers used in broadband optical networks in the 1550 nm transmission window. These erbium doped fibers deliver gain efficiencies in excess of 3.5 dB/mW when pumped with a 980nm laser diode. F-EDF-2 has a flat gain profile while F-EDF-5 is suitable for metro EDFA applications.
